Bright pomegranate and wild strawberry cascade across the palate with striking mineral precision. Despite its modest 12.9% alcohol, there's impressive concentration here. Layers of crushed violets and wet earth that speak to these ancient Contra Costa vines. The fruit has gorgeous clarity and lift, finishing with surprising length and purity.
